Ingredients
- 16 oz cottage cheese preferably 4% milkfat
- 1/4 small red onion diced
- 1/2 English cucumber diced
- 5 oz grape tomatoes halved
- 1/2 large bell pepper diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar optional
- fresh or dried herbs to taste optional
Instructions
- Toss all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Chill for one hour, then serve.
Notes
- I love tossing in some fresh basil with this salad, but feel free to use your favorite herb, or skip them entirely if you would prefer.
- Heads up: the cucumber might release a bit of water if you store the salad overnight. If you’d rather avoid that, just add the cucumber right before serving.
